Oil and Gas International FZC (OGI) Acquires Certified Oil-Field Equipment Rental – LLC (COR)

We want to bring to your attention and announce that OGI has successfully acquired the ownership from Jim Watson and is immensely proud to continue the operations under the sponsorship of Al Shomoukh Management.

With effect from 1st April 2022 COR will be represented by Thomas Albin – who will be piloting and managing the operations as a Managing Director and General Manager.

Additionally, we are equally proud to notify you that COR is located on a 120,000 square foot base in Abu Dhabi and is fully integral to an extensive network and reach of companies in the Middle East region and beyond, and takes great pride in operating as a “one-stop” facility with an excellent capability to provide rental services for all requirements.

Through this acquisition, OGI’s capabilities have further increased and diversified, and is equipped to handle and cater for the following services efficiently:

  • facility of load testing,
  • pull testing,
  • refurbishment,
  • extensive array of all equipment for your upstream and
  • downstream needs in the Oil and Gas industry
  • Rental Services for all BHA tools etc

With this acquisition our relationship and collaboration with ADNOC is further strengthened as COR is prequalified with ADNOC and OGI has also recently been qualified as a vendor. As a result, we are proud and committed to extend our continuous support to ADNOC contracts via this synergy. OGI also extends its support to ADNOC by posing as subcontractors for other premium clients in the industry.

Going forward, OGI will continue investing in Abu Dhabi and will provide unrelenting support to all services for operating companies, service companies and drilling contractors. With the integration of services provided by COR and OGI, this will provide a competitive edge allowing for an unparallel flow of quality services to all our clientele who have supported us throughout.

OGI have always invested in the long-term relationships and are committed to drive growth in today’s challenging trading environment. Our long-term commitment to operational excellence delivers benefit for growth and innovation.
